I found this video on the natural news website and I thought it was really interesting to hear this story from the point of view of the person involved. A lot of times people get on their webcam and talk about stuff that isn’t very relevant or interesting but this kid had a story to tell and it made me upset to hear how he was treated. He says he was told to shut up over and over again by the school authorities for just questioning why he was in trouble and actually got the police called on him. I think it is scary that something so meaningless and stupid could actually get the authorities attention. He says the police officer actually wanted to put him in handcuffs but I couldn’t see any real cause for him to be put under that situation. People, especially fourteen year old students should not be silenced in such a way. There was obviously some misunderstanding between the kid and the school officials that could have been handled intelligently and without the calling in of police officers. I don’t have the other side of the story but I believe the kid that this could happen because I know how people in power act. They don’t seem to care about people’s rights and will do anything in their power to just silence opposition. I think this school should be held accountable and get into some sort of trouble for this situation, but they wont because it’s a kid’s word against adults. At least there are ways for the opinion of this boy to get heard by more people so hopefully he can get some retribution for the punishment he received for not even breaking any laws.
